Is anyone familiar with this company or SI? The new teacher at our ballet school has taught at their SI for the past 4 years and there is an opportunity for DD12 to go to their SI this summer for 4 weeks. I just wondered if anyone had any experience with it?

What did your daughters' friends have to say about it?

No, I don't want to send her to one of the programs we turned down. I am considering Bay Pointe because her teacher will be teaching there again this year and he recommended it but I was just curious about the program from a dancer's perspective. It is a smaller program with about 20 in a class which I think can be better than one of the better known programs where there are 35 in a class. I thought this was perfect for her first time away. He said she also would be staying with a parent instead of a dorm which I prefer for the first time too.

The international trip is Korea but now with all that is going on in North Korea there is no way I want to send her to South Korea.
